Conjurer's Bauble
Quite proud of this one; almost the same deck as bat (...I was not impressed that the first two entries were both Stax decks), but Conjurer's Bauble means it can Smokestack people to death more easily, and actually outpace him on Artifact Creature token production.

Five Card Blind (5CB) is a weekly Magic tournament, run entirely within this forum. To compete, players submit five-card decks which are played against each other. Scoring assumes optimal play, without randomness or concealed information.
1. Game Rules
1.1. Except for the changes described in these rules, games follow the rules of Magic.
1.2. Players' decks contain exactly five cards, which begin the game in hand. Players do not mulligan or sideboard.
1.3. Players' libraries begin the game empty. A player does not lose the game as a result of being unable to draw a card.
1.4. A random effect produces the result that least benefits the owner of the source of the effect.
1.5. Each player plays two games (one match) against each other player.
1.5a. Each player is the starting player once per match.
1.5b. If no player can win, the game is a draw.
1.5c. Games are played with perfect information.
1.5d. Games are played optimally; players attempt to win, draw, or extend the game – in that order.
2. Tournament Rules
2.1. Players submit their decks to the 5CB moderator.
2.1a. A player may submit multiple decks, but only the most recent deck is counted.
2.1b. An illegal deck is not counted. The removal of an illegal deck does not affect deck distribution (see Rule 2.4).
2.1c. The moderator determines the result of each match. Players may challenge results, but not after the results of the first round belonging to a new month have been posted (see Rule 2.5a).
2.1d. Players are expected to name their decks. In the event they do not do so, the moderator may, at their discretion, name it whatever strikes their fancy.
2.2. Decks are subject to some restrictions.
2.2a. A player may not submit a deck that can – against any deck – win the game or force more than one card in an opponent's hand to change zones before an opponent's second turn.
2.2b. A player may not submit a deck that can't win both games of a match against at least one deck satisfying 2.2a and 2.2c.
2.2c. A deck may include any number of any card legal in Vintage (Type 1), with the exception of the following banned cards:
2.2d. A deck may include any number of any card that will become legal in Vintage upon release of a set that has been revealed fully and officially.
2.3. Points determine tournament standings.
2.3a. Players are ranked – first to last – in order of decreasing number of points.
2.3b. For each match, a player earns 3 points per game win and 1 point per drawn game. However, a player earns only 2 points for a split match (one win, one loss).
2.3c. A table of match results is posted each round. Its rows represent players and its columns represent opponents. Match results reflect the combined result of both games played in a match; 3 is a game win, 1 a drawn game, and 0 a game loss. 2 may be used instead of 3 to denote a split match. A player's points are listed at the end of his or her row.
2.4. In rounds of twenty or more players, players are divided randomly into equally-sized heats of n players, where n is the number of players divided by ten (rounded down).
For example, twenty-five players are divided into heats of twelve and thirteen.
2.4a. Except in the finals, a player only plays against players in his heat.
2.4b. The top four players of each heat advance to the finals, where they play again (with the same decks).
2.4c. Tiebreakers for advancement to the finals are as follows: number of matches in which a player wins both games, number of game wins, points scored against higher-scoring decks. If a tie is unresolved, the tied decks advance.
2.5. The player with the most POTM points over the course of a month is the Player of the Month.
2.5a. A month includes all rounds for which decks are due during that month.
2.5b. The top eight players – or more, if players are tied for the final spot – of rounds of less than twenty players, all players in rounds of eight or fewer players, and all players in the finals of rounds of twenty or more players earn POTM points according to their rank; The player with the highest score earns 8 POTM points, and each subsequent player earns one point less than the previous player, but can't earn less than 0 POTM points. Tied players earn equal points but are counted as separate players when calculating the points of other players.

I don't understand how dasheiff's deck wins. Forked spells still resolve one at a time, so it looks like he leaves a goldfish on 5 life?

3. Could you please format the results with an X in place of the first column of the top line? As is, matches don't align properly, which is confusing.
4. I've updated the spoilers, below. I find these a useful reference to past rounds, and others might as well. You can add them next round.
5. I've included a suggested rules update to 2.2d, adding the phrase "since the start of the round". The rule, as previously stated, allowed cards to become legal mid-round, which had the potential to be problematic.

I notice froffenhoffer's creatures are both legendary... is that not a problem?

5) tomsloger - Mindbreak Trap / Mountain / Red Sun's Zenith / Sol Ring / Sol Ring
vs
9) Parsley - Mishra's Workshop / Lodestone Golem / Sphere of Resistance / Sol Ring / Duplicant
6-0 -> 3-3
On the play i play sphere and he cant cast his sol rings. Next turn i play golem so i dont get hit by mindbreak trap.
4) Mogg - Glacial Chasm / Jinxed Choker / Jinxed Choker / Leyline of the Void / Mishra's Workshop
vs
9) Parsley - Mishra's Workshop / Lodestone Golem / Sphere of Resistance / Sol Ring / Duplicant
3-3 -> 0-6
He plays a Jinxed Choker.
I play Sol Ring, Lodestone Golem and Sphere of Resistance.
If he doesn't play chasm i attack him with golem and if he does i can remove 1 counter a turn from Jinxed Choker so the damage i take per turn increases by 1 a turn while his increases by 2 a turn.
if he plays chasm lifetotals go
Me 19

1) WhammWhamme - Why do I do this to myself?
Mishra's Workshop
Smokestack
Sol Ring
Lodestone Golem
Conjurer's Bauble
Quite proud of this one; almost the same deck as bat (...I was not impressed that the first two entries were both Stax decks), but Conjurer's Bauble means it can Smokestack people to death more easily, and actually outpace him on Artifact Creature token production.
2) bateleur - Forking Like Rabbits
Mishra's Workshop
Sol Ring
Smokestack
Epochrasite
Lodestone Golem
The horde of Epochrasites was adorable, but never happened.
3) dasheiff - Mercadian Masques
Commandeer
Snapback
Mindbreak Trap
Blood Tribute
Subterranean Hangar
Disqualified.
4) gamermk - Lock and Lode
Lodestone Golem
Mishra's Workshop
Mox Sapphire
Misdirection
Snapback
Misdirection was better before the Commandeer deck got DQ'd; Lodestone Golem is okay in this format, but the field mostly didn't care.
4) Mogg - Hardly GLACIAL...
Glacial Chasm
Jinxed Choker
Jinxed Choker
Leyline of the Void
Mishra's Workshop
Leyline of the Void was... not very useful. And Chokers aren't amazing against Stax. A rare meta miscall for Mogg.
5) tomsloger - All-in Sun
Mindbreak Trap
Mountain
Red Sun's Zenith
Sol Ring
Sol Ring
Surprisingly good; burns away creature win-cons, fast goldfish, pwns Lodestone.
6) Madmanquail - Fork what now?
Dust Bowl
Faerie Macabre
Mishra's Factory
The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
So many blank cards... Tabernacle beat Thoomor, and that was pretty much it.
7) Thoomor - Explosive Comeback
Mishra's Workshop
Mana Vault
Wurmcoil Engine
Ratchet Bomb
Sphere of Resistance
Cool deck. Wurmcoil Engine is a nasty creature to Fork
8) froffenhoffer - The Great Man School of Magic
Mox Emerald
Mox Emerald
Eureka
Iona, Shield of Emeria
Progenitus
Iona did very little in this monobrown meta. First turn Progenitus, OTOH, beat people.
9) Parsley - Robot Wants Fishy
Mishra's Workshop
Lodestone Golem
Sphere of Resistance
Sol Ring
Duplicant
Lodestone + Sphere = spells locked out. Someone double-check the grid on this man.
X 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
1 X 6 0 6 6 3 6 6 3 3 = 36
2 0 X 0 6 6 3 6 0 3 3 = 24
3 6 6 X 0 0 6 0 0 6 0 = 24
4 0 0 6 X 0 0 6 0 3 0 = 8
5 0 0 6 6 X 0 6 6 6 3 = 26
6 3 3 0 6 6 X 6 0 0 6 = 28
7 0 0 6 0 0 0 X 6 0 0 = 6
8 0 6 6 6 0 6 0 X 3 6 = 26
9 3 3 0 3 0 6 6 3 X 3 = 22
0 3 3 6 6 3 0 6 0 3 X = 20
The bolded entries are the disqualified deck. I'm not going to mess with the grid, but I didn't count it for points.
1) Me? Sweet!
As per usual, putting this up to be picked apart before finalising. Next week will be Fork Week Part II, since the format seems to be diverse enough.
Fork Week:
Whenever you play a spell, put a copy of it on the stack (permanent spells will resolve and come into play as a token copy of the original spell.
The following cards are banned:
Black Lotus, Flash, Leyline of Singularity, Meddling Mage, and Voidstone Gargoyle.

Not with Eureka putting them into play.
Whenever you play a spell, put a copy of it on the stack (permanent spells will resolve and come into play as a token copy of the original spell)
Also, it would probably be a good idea to put the full explanation of the format, including the extra banned list, in the first post.

vs
9) Parsley - Mishra's Workshop / Lodestone Golem / Sphere of Resistance / Sol Ring / Duplicant
6-0 -> 3-3
On the play i play sphere and he cant cast his sol rings. Next turn i play golem so i dont get hit by mindbreak trap.
4) Mogg - Glacial Chasm / Jinxed Choker / Jinxed Choker / Leyline of the Void / Mishra's Workshop
vs
9) Parsley - Mishra's Workshop / Lodestone Golem / Sphere of Resistance / Sol Ring / Duplicant
3-3 -> 0-6
He plays a Jinxed Choker.
I play Sol Ring, Lodestone Golem and Sphere of Resistance.
If he doesn't play chasm i attack him with golem and if he does i can remove 1 counter a turn from Jinxed Choker so the damage i take per turn increases by 1 a turn while his increases by 2 a turn.
if he plays chasm lifetotals go
